Four-time All-American Barry Davis takes a detailed look at scoring with the legs - both offensively and defensively. Coach Davis begins on the mat demonstrating different ways to defend against leg riding wrestlers. He demonstrates five different ways to prevent an opponent from getting the leg in on your wrestler. Davis' wrestling philosophy is that an aggressive wrestler always has more opportunities to score. With that in mind Davis shows not only how to prevent the opponent from getting the leg in, but also how to score from those situations. Should the opponent manage to get a leg in, Davis presents five different options for your wrestler. The second half of the tape focuses on leg riding with Davis demonstrating proper technique as well as a number of tilts and turns featuring the bar half series. As a special bonus, Davis provides a number of different tips on turning the opponent to his back without a leg in using the bar half. Throughout this wrestling DVD, Davis passes along drilling ideas to help practice the moves. This instructional DVD will help your wrestlers become more comfortable using the legs or defending against them.

The first 20 minutes is leg defense. He does a great job of showing how to avoid letting the legs in and how to counter once they are in. Worth the price of the tape alone if your team is having trouble in that area.
The second part is scoring with the legs. I was slightly disapointed with this section because it really only covers the power half from a center ride - prying your opponent over for back points and then coming over the top for the pin. There are also some good tips for keeping the opponent flat on the mat. Good information for sure. Just be aware that it does not cover cross-body ride, crab ride, or leg turks. If you are looking for information on those I recommend the tapes by Brendan Buckley, Troy Letters, and Greg Strobel. Mitch Clark also has a good take on leg riding.
